Connect everyday style with a New York-area retail story in this Mays Department Stores Heavy Knit Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt. The business began as a Brooklyn women's clothing store in 1924, then opened its first Mays department store on Fulton Street in September 1929. Expansion through the 1950s and 1960s led to nine stores in the early 1970s. Following financial challenges and store closures, Mays announced the immediate closure of its last three stores in December 1988. Its history remains part of the region's neighborhood shopping memory.
Mays was a New York-area discount department store chain operated by J.W. Mays, Inc. Its roots were a Brooklyn women's clothing store founded in 1924 by Joe Weinstein, a Polish Jewish immigrant from Galicia. The first Mays location opened at 510 Fulton Street in Brooklyn in September 1929, the year Weinstein incorporated the company and added his initials to its name. The chain expanded through the 1950s and 1960s, reaching nine stores and about 5,000 employees in the early 1970s. Locations served three of New York City's five boroughs, Long Island, and Putnam County. Mays competed with other discount retailers and higher-end department stores; a proposed merger with two discount competitors did not happen. After losing market share in the late 1970s, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1982 and closed five stores outside New York City. In 1987 it closed one of its two Glen Oaks stores. The chain announced the immediate closure of its last three stores on December 28, 1988, with final sales on December 31. On January 1, 1989, J.W. Mays, Inc. returned to real estate, using property previously occupied by its stores.
